This month I took my high agility wood elf team to play against the Tomb Kings. I don't have any names for the team except for Mosstyn the treeman. He had a decent game, including a successful blitz on an opponent.

| Mosstyn was bostin! |
Although he did end up on his face at one point after a bad roll.

| Double skulls! |
The wood elves are high agility, and their wardancers have a special ability called 'leap', which means they can jump over an opponent. I have only just learned to use this skill, but it meant on two occasions I was able to get a wardancer into the Tomb Kings back line and sack the ball carrier before running in to score.
However, the event of the game was a disastrous dice roll of truly epic proportions. Bryan had a power advantage which meant he could roll three dice to resolve an attack on one of my players. He rolled 2 skulls and the 'both down' option where both players are knocked over and his turn would end. But, a lifeline! His attacking player had a skill that meant he could re-roll a both down result. Bryan rolled the dice again and rolled... another skull.
Triple skulls from four dice rolls is unbelievably bad luck. And possibly a new record. We are seriously wondering if the dice are cursed.
The Tomb Kings managed a consolation down after the wood elves had put four on the board.
I was a turn away from scoring a fifth down when the game ended. The final score was 4-1.

| So close... |
We had a very suitable snack this time. Reese's dipped peanuts. They make excellent edible Blood Bowl balls!
